Thoughts about Canada from Across the Pond

“They really just are angry non-Americans. That’s the Canadian identity at this point. Canadian anti-Americanism used to be the flip side of something more positive, namely expressed by the British loyalist tradition. It didn’t actually used to be so bad. Now it’s just a demented, directionless anti-Americanism. It’s intensified by the fact that it’s Trump’s America. Canada has deliberately been hollowing out its identity since the 1960’s. Now it’s very much multiculturalism, we like maple syrup, and we’re not America. This is not a good recipe for holding together a national identity.”

  1. the carneys have invited the royals to do a throne speech. the liberals have publicly hated them for 20 plus years .

    1. Pure theatre. HRH Charles 3rd is a charter member of the WEF Davos society. King Carnage is a WEF trustee with 3 passports. As BoE Governor King Carnage was pro EU – WEF and against the Brexit – UK independence movement. All the numbers are lining up & none are in your favour. You will eat bugs, own nothing and like it.

    2. So it’s ok to like the royals now.
      Liberal cognitive dissonance and plausible denial is impenetrable.
      It’s ok when they do it.

    3. Royals are okay for the time being. Chucky III will announce to us peasants, on behalf of Lord Carnage, where our low station in the Great Reset will be located. Then the Lieberals will go back to Monarchy bashing. Kanadians are fine as long as the pods and bugs are free.

  2. As if the point is to hold Canada together. The plan IMO is to have failed nation states on either side of the US.
    Kinda like Isreal’s situation

  3. Canada has witnessed what a socital quagmire Britain has allowed itself to become. There’s not much comfort to be found there if trying to be a bit more distant from the USA. (Although ‘European’ Carney and WEF champion might argue differently).

    1. Canada and Australia have declined in lockstep with the U.K. and in the same way. The CBC and the ABC are pretty much carbon copies of BBC leftism, to give one example.

  4. The entire notion of Canada was destroyed mainly during the Pearson/Trudeau years. They deliberately tried to water down the British notion of Canada and raise the Quebec French nonsense. Multiculturalism was created to dilute the British trait. I use to laugh at idiots like Joe Clark (who pretended to be conservative) who used that stupid narrative of a “community of communities”.

    1. Clark was what liberals saw as the right kind of conservative.
      He was a dependable fellow that could be counted on to repeat a liberal narrative and throw any conservative principle under the bus so the cool kids in the press gallery would let him sit with them.

      1. The Liberals always praise Clark and Stanfield because they were losers.

  5. There is one difference
    The government model in Canada is unlimited government control for peace order and what the government decides is good.
    The model in the US is limited government and being responsible for your own success or failure.
    Obviously if Canada either adopted the US model or joined with them, there would be a lot of politicians, bureaucrats, and in the judiciary that will be out of work. So naturally their expression of anti-Americanism is actually fear of having to work for a living.

    1. You’ve been conned, it’s Peace, Order and Government. No mention of quality.

  6. The Liberals have been estranging Canadians and casting them adrift from their history and their historical identity since 1963 when the LIberals the Separatists and the NDP imposed the Maple Leaf Flag and buried the Canadian flag, the Red Ensign without permission or authority from Canadians.

    Citizens were banned and excluded from the so called, “flag ceremony”.

    The beginning of the end for Canada.

    Seeing Liberals temporarily pretending to care about the English speaking history of Canada now is nauseating and pure theatre for the rubes.

  7. I think the anti-Americanism has gotten worse since Canada devalued it’s traditional heritage,dumping in Sir John A. and other notable historical figures, and thinking you could carve a viable identity out of multiculturalism. Now that Trump was a a threat, there is a desperate attempt to revive Canadian patriotism, but all that is left is anger at the Americans.

  8. Typical view from England (and some parts of Canada). We have abandonned bowing to the Union Jack, ergo we are lost. There are provinces and territories in Canada that have identities more substantial than just being non-Americans. I’d say most of them, but the constant anti-US propaganda we have been subjected to is ingrained. And you can thank Anglophiles for that. Maybe the loyalists that the US had the good sense to dump into Upper Canada is the origin? I have lived in 4 provinces and visited most of the others. The most boring vanilla generic “we are not Americans” province with no personality was Ontario, before it turned into a gray paste of diversity. Since the universe revolves around Toronto, it’s no surprise some people think Canada has no identity. I’m going to cut the Lotus Eaters some slack though: With the election of Carney, a 3 passport WEF globalist environmental zealot that campaigned against Trump, they can be forgiven for thinking that.

  9. Lester B. Pearson (Canada’s14th Prime Minister) laid the foundation for our road to serfdom. He was an avowed internationalist & a closet socialist. To support this, I’d cite the following:
    Presided over the creation of socialized medicare – (now an unmitigated disaster), the Canada Pension Plan, the dominantly red maple leaf flag – the colour favoured by communists worldwide as it signifies anger. A more appropriate choice would have been a red maple leaf bordered by blue on the left & right. A staunch advocate of multiculturalism and bilingualism. Involved with the creation of the U.N. and NATO (both are now communist organizations) of which we are still a member. Last, but not least he appointed P.E. Trudeau as justice minister, which led to his role as Prime Minister and ultimately his sociopathic son Justin in the same role.

    All in all a rather sordid legacy for a man who won the Nobel peace prize in 1957

  10. Canada – A Dictatorship?
    Methinks the answer is a resounding YES

    Is Canada really an elected dictatorship? This has been advanced by many writers, but when the Mainstream Media starts reporting on it you may get the idea that something is up. The problem is that the centralization of power in the Prime Minister’s office has been consolidated to the point where the PMO is in control not only of elected MP’s but of the civil service as well through threats, intimidation or outright dismissal.

    Over time and under successive prime ministers power has shifted away from Parliament and has now become thoroughly subordinated to the technocratic backroom operatives in his office who wield the real power. Full article here:

    It has to be an endemic and pernicious mind virus, first destroying/killing both the soul and spirit of all but the most resistant – those critical thinkers who haven’t relinquished their divine personal sovereignty to secular materialism and/or other devious ethereal entities. Owned MSM (CBC, CTV) MkUltra & its PsyOp variations targeting the multitudes comes to mind.
    What they can’t control they destroy.

    1. I think in Western democracies, the Canadian PM holds the most power of any head of state, including the President of the US. Zustin sure was not shy about using the power of the office and walked away from any consequences when he abused that power.

      1. yes . they have the executive powers and the legislative power of the state ,its why an 85IQ made such a mess
